Romeo And Juliet ACT 2 Flashcards
O Romeo, Romeo! - wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name.
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I will no longer be a Capulet
Juliet says this
She means she will give up being a Capulet if it means she can be with Romeo
What light through yonder window breaks?
It is East, and Juliet is the sun
Romeo says this
He means Juliet is beautiful and shining
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet
Juliet says this
She means if Romeo was any other name he would be just as nice
With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls
For stony limits cannot hold love out
Romeo says this
He means it doesn’t matter how he got to Juliet but love brought him there
My life were better ended by their hate
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love
Romeo says this
He means he rather die than waiting for Juliet to says she loves him
I have no joy of this contract tonight
It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden
Juliet says this
She means it’s too sudden and they are going way to fast
Parting is such sweet sorrow
That I shall say goodnight till it be morrow
Juliet says this
She is saying goodbye
Then plainly know my heart’s dear love is set
On the fair daughter of rich Capulet.
Romeo says this
Romeo is saying he loves Juliet
Young men’s love then lies
Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.
Friar Lawerence says this
He means some men only like women for their looks
For this alliance may so happy prove
To turn your households’ rancour to pure love.
Friar Lawerence says this
If he marries Romeo and Juliet it might end the feud between their families
Wisely and slow.
They stumble that run fast.
Friar Lawerence says this
If he runs to fast into the relationship he will stumble and mess up the relationship
Prince of Cats
Mercutio says this
He is a survivor. A cat was supposed to have nine lives
Now art thou sociable.
Now art thou Romeo.
Mercutio says this
He is saying Romeo is himself and he is not sulking anymore
If ye lead her in a fool’s
Paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of behaviour
The Nurse says this
She is saying to Romeo if you are just saying that you love Juliet now and then in a couple of months move on to the next girl he is leading Juliet into a false paradise
Then hie you hence to Friar Lawerence’ cell.
There stays a husband to make you a wife.
The Nurse says this
Go to Friar Lawrence’s cell, Romeo is waiting for her
